Sunday November 3rd 2024 〰️
Join us on the farm
Join us to hear from, sample and purchase from the best producers of our local region across the South West of Victoria!
We want to cement the culture and identity of our local region, support small-scale producers and increase environmental awareness of the positive impacts of buying from our small-scale producers!
This is a not to be missed, one off opportunity to connect with the people who so passionately have dedicated their lives to their craft of small scale agriculture and food.
If you haven’t had the opportunity to visit Common Ground Project yet, this Harvest Festival Market will be the place to be this November long weekend!

Workshops
We're incredibly excited to have the ferment connoisseur Patrick Meaney from Farm to Ferment hosting a one hour 'basics of fermenting' here at Common Ground Project. This workshop will be held on the day of our Harvest Festival (3rd of November!), and will be a one hour session among the bustling program exploring the fundamentals of vegetable preservation, flavour, and sharing in the reverence of food together.
Sunday November 3rd, 10-11am
Free tickets can be found HERE
Fun with Fungi
With Tom & Cam Bellarine Fungi
Fun with Fungi is a fantastic forum for fledgling fungi enthusiasts! You'll learn all about the process of growing mushrooms right from the tiniest microscopic spores all the way through to the delicious and colourful gourmet mushrooms we know and love. AND you'll get to take home your very own bucket of mushroom straw to grow your own at home.
Sunday November 3rd, 1:30-2:30pm
Free tickets can be found HERE
Register here for the whole event! Tickets won’t be required for entry, it just helps us to know numbers!
